Today’s sponging gits are…

A family of four with a combined weight of 83 stone say they are "too fat to work" and need more than the £22,000 they currently receive in benefits...

The family from Blackburn claim £22,508 a year in benefits, equivalent to the take-home pay from a £30,000 salary. The Chawners, haven't worked in 11 years, claim their weight is a hereditary condition and the money they receive is insufficient to live on.

I am sorry, but the argument we are fat because we are poor simply doesn’t wash with me – however in the interests of trying to once again saving the taxpayer payer some money, I am prepared, at entirely my own cost, to invite the Chawner family to attend Dr Free Market’s Family Fat Farm where they will be put on his world famous Darfur Diet – it has a 100% success rate because failure means an 0600 appointment on the flensing deck.
These people don’t need more money because they are not on the breadline … they have scoffed that already. Idle work shy b*stards!

How else to react to a thieving state than to steal from it?

This behaviour is already the norm amongst the lower orders.

Further, they are not necessarily work shy. I hire people for cash from our local street labour market and often the fatties work like the very devil, at least for short periods of a few days, until they earn the money they need for whatever luxury they have in mind.

If they can't work, then how about providing some other sort of useful service? Like being rendered down into some sort of diesel fuel or suchlike?

lazy shiftless bastards...

tell you what, don't give them bennies. No money, no food. No food, they lose weight. They lose weight, they get lighter, they get lighter, they can go to work.

win win win!

Hmmm, according to BBC America, only people in America look like that...

NuLabour voters, unquestionably.

If it is hereditary I suppose not giving them any money for food wouldn't matter, as their bodily fat reserves would spawn hereditarily out of thin air.

They sure as hell can work. Can't they find some politically correct, protected workplace that would allow them to run people's groceries to their cars for tips? Does the UK have a 'British with Disabilities Act?'

If they can get up and get showered, dressed and cash those checks they can work.

Obesity is *not* hereditary. Are they paying a doctor to say this? Aren't there medical screenings and boards of review to limit benefits so they can get fit?

If there is one thing the nanny state needs to do besides put itself on a diet, it is put THEM on one.

Sheriff Joseph Aciao has a great one in Mesa AZ.

I read the article. 'fruit and veg' are 'too expensive?' Microwave meat pies and chips?

Ever try GROWING YOUR OWN IN POTS? I cook from scratch nearly every single day. I feed six people. My food budget for the week is 150 dollars...that's about what they get in pounds sterling, right?

Taking a constitutional after dinner: Free and can last for at least ten-fifteen minutes. I have chronic athsma and a chiropractor told me that I should exercise to keep the bronchial passages clear. Walking is free, you can do it every day and no one can stop you. They might want to put a paper bag over your head, but you are outside!

Stop buying convenience foods and eating fries.
Processed foods are calorie heavy and light on nutrition and are cost prohibitive in more ways than one. First of all, they don't build health.
Second, by not being as nutritious, they can contribute to obesity and degenerative conditions such as diabetes, which means more medical expense and lack of quality of life issues when you are taking insulin and are on dialysis.


Man, have you lot missed the point.

You're angry as hell at these mildly indolent, clever, clever people. You proffer money to them, you beg them to take it, you stick your arses in the air begging to be cornholed. Then you scream with rage when they actually take the money and your bum hurts.

You allowed this, you voted badly, or more likely didn't vote at all, you were politically inactive, you didn't join a constituency or go to meetings, you failed to march in the streets, you didn't give a penny to a conservative cause, party or group, all the while the lefties were working like crazy.

Indolent, idle, cheap conservatives are a lot more dangerous than a few clever fatties taking advantage of their legal rights, asking for more and enjoying what they have.

I have a suggestion......they could be rendered down to make gun grease........

Sorry, but as bad as obesity is in the US, I am not aware of anyone getting a subsidy for it! Trim the fat two ways; off them and off the welfare roll.
